ROUGH CUT (NO REPORTER NARRATION)
Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump is denying he had anything to do with a tabloid story in the National Enquirer that alleged Ted Cruz's father Rafael was linked JFK assassin Lee Harvey Oswald.
Speaking to volunteers in Cleveland the morning after formally accepting the GOP nomination, Trump said, "All I did is point out the fact that on the cover of the National Enquirer there was a picture of him and crazy Lee Harvey Oswald having breakfast. Now Ted never denied it was his father."
